Ballet Hispanico
 

PRE-SCHOOL SUMMER DANCE CAMPS  (Ages 3 - 5)
Ballet Hispanico's Pre-School Summer Camps engage boys and girls ages 3-5 in a balanced exploration of the art and culture of four Latin American countries.  Our goal is to introduce children to these diverse cultures while encouraging them to build creative skills in an environment that is safe, accessible, and inclusive.  The camps focus on the dances, songs, stories, and rhythms of Latin America through offerings such as creative movement class, the physical interpretation of Latin American children's literature, and the exploration of musical elements and percussion.  Each week will take campers on a journey through Argentina, Puerto Rico, Brazil, and Venezuela!

All camps 9AM-12PM, Monday through Friday.
In-Studio presentations each week for parents!

June 11-15: Argentina
June 18-22: Puerto Rico
June 25-29: Brazil
July 9-13: Venezuela

Tuition: $330 per week-long camp
